Methods for identifying network traffic characteristics to correlate and manage one or more subsequent flows and devices thereof

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for identifying network traffic characteristics to correlate and manage one or more subsequent flows comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

• transmitting a monitoring request comprising one or more attributes extracted from an HTTP request received from a client computing device and a timestamp to a monitoring server to correlate one or more subsequent flows associated with the HTTP request;
• transmitting the HTTP request to an application server after receiving an acknowledgement response to the monitoring request from the monitoring server;
• receiving an HTTP response to the HTTP request from the application server;
• and
• performing an operation with respect to the HTTP response after transmitting a monitoring response message to end the correlation associated with the HTTP request in response to the monitoring request.

A traffic management computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory coupled to the one or more processors which are configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory comprising:
• transmitting a monitoring request comprising one or more attributes extracted from an HTTP request received from a client computing device and a timestamp to a monitoring server to correlate one or more subsequent flows associated with the HTTP request;
• transmitting the HTTP request to an application server after receiving an acknowledgement response to the monitoring request from the monitoring server;
• receiving an HTTP response to the HTTP request from the application server;
• and
• performing an operation with respect to the HTTP response after transmitting a monitoring response message to end the correlation associated with the HTTP request in response to the monitoring request.
